[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the orchard monorail transport device includes: a body 4 and a feed port 1, a first discharge port 2, and a second discharge port 3 installed on the body 4, wherein the feed port 1 is installed on one side of the top of the body 4, the second discharge port 3 is installed on the other side of the top of the body 4, and the first discharge port 2 is installed on the end of the body 4 away from the feed port 1; a screening component, wherein the screening component is installed below the feed port 1, and the screening component is used to separate fruits and impurities; a conveying component, wherein the conveying component is installed on one side of the screening component, and the conveying component is used to transport the screened fruits to a designated location; the staff first puts the picked fruits into the top side of the body 4 through the feed port 1, and then starts the screening component, which is located directly below the feed port 1, and through the mechanical vibration mechanism and the arranged screen 13 structure, there is The machine effectively performs preliminary separation on the input fruits. During this process, the kinetic energy generated by the vibration promotes the efficient separation of the fruits from the branches, leaves, dust and other impurities attached to them, ensuring the cleanliness of the fruits. The impurities are screened to one side under the action of vibration and discharged smoothly through the second discharge port 3 on the other side of the top of the fuselage 4, thereby avoiding the interference of impurities with the subsequent processing flow. At the same time, the screened fruits continue to fall along the established path, and then these screened fruits fall into the receiving area of the conveying component and reach the conveying component. The conveying component transports the fruits smoothly. When the fruits arrive at the end of the conveying component, they slide out through the first discharge port 2 and enter the preset collection frame. The entire work process is efficient and orderly, which not only significantly improves the efficiency and quality of fruit processing, but also greatly reduces the burden of manual operation.
[0030] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the screening assembly includes a shell 5 and a first frame 6. One side of the feed port 1 is hinged to the shell 5, and the other side of the feed port 1 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 10. The second bracket 10 is provided with a plurality of holes. The shell 5 is movably mounted on the support frame 7. The first bracket 8 is symmetrically mounted on both sides of the support frame 7. The first bracket 8 is provided with a plurality of circular holes 9. The first bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the first frame 6. Two straps 11 are installed on the shell 5. The two straps 11 are fixed by two fixing buckles 12 respectively. A screen 13 is fixedly installed inside the shell 5. The four corners of the shell 5 are fixedly mounted. There is a first fixing plate 501. Second fixing plates 701 are fixedly installed at positions corresponding to the four first fixing plates 501 on the support frame 7. The four first fixing plates 501 and the four second fixing plates 701 are elastically connected by return springs 502. The screen 13 includes a screen plate 14, which has a plurality of screen holes 16. Connecting plates 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the screen plate 14. A plurality of compression springs 17 are fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 15. A plurality of first trapezoidal blocks 18 are fixedly installed on one side of the screen plate 14. The connecting plate 15 is installed in a movable groove on both sides of the housing 5. A slide groove is provided on both sides of the housing 5. A slider 21 is slidably installed in the slide groove. The slider 21 is slidably installed on the screw rod 23. A rotating motor 22 is fixedly installed on one end of the screw rod 23. A sliding plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 21. A plurality of second trapezoidal blocks 19 are fixedly installed on the sliding plate 20. The movable groove provided on the housing 5 is located above the slide groove. A partition plate 24 is fixedly installed inside the sieve plate 14, a number of resonance beads are placed inside the sieve plate 14, and a sieve column 25 is fixedly installed on each of the sieve holes 16;
[0031] The operator puts the picked fruit into the feed port 1, and the fruit immediately falls into the interior of the shell 5 and contacts the fixed screen 13. At this time, the rotating motor 22 is started, driving the screw rod 23 to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 23 causes the slider 21 to slide back and forth along its axial direction in the slide groove. Since the slider 21 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 20, the sliding plate 20 performs synchronous reciprocating motion, and the second trapezoidal block 19 fixed thereon also moves accordingly. These second trapezoidal blocks 19 fit together with the first trapezoidal blocks 18 fixed on the edge of the screen plate 14. When the second trapezoidal blocks 19 are fixed to the first trapezoidal blocks 18 fixed on the edge of the screen plate 14, the second trapezoidal blocks 19 are in contact with each other. When the second trapezoidal block 19 contacts the first trapezoidal block 18 in the reciprocating motion, the geometric shapes between them are matched to drive the sieve plate 14 to generate a certain amplitude of vibration. The vibration of the sieve plate 14 promotes the synchronous vibration of the resonance beads installed inside it, so that the vibration frequency of the screen 13 is significantly enhanced, thereby effectively accelerating the filtration process of impurities in the fruit. The sieve hole columns 25 evenly distributed on the sieve plate 14 are designed to be hollow cylindrical shapes that penetrate the sieve plate 14, which not only ensures that impurities can pass smoothly and avoid blockage, but also effectively prevents impurities from penetrating into the internal structure of the sieve plate 14. The structure maintains the cleanliness and service life of the screen 13. At the same time, the fixed installation of the sieve hole column 25 further stabilizes the structure of the sieve hole 16 and improves the overall screening efficiency. The compression springs 17 installed on the connecting plates 15 on both sides of the sieve plate 14 play an important buffering and reset role in the vibration process of the sieve plate 14. They can keep the vibration of the sieve plate 14 stable and orderly, reduce the mechanical shock caused by vibration, and help the sieve plate 14 to quickly return to its initial state after the vibration is over, so as to prepare for the next screening operation. It is worth mentioning that the shell 5 and the support frame 7 are elastically connected by four reset springs 502. This design greatly alleviates the overall shaking caused by material vibration during the screening process, ensuring the smooth operation and long-term stability of the screening component. The precise positioning and firm installation of the first fixing plate 501 and the second fixing plate 701 provide a stable support point for the reset spring 502, so that the vibration energy can be effectively absorbed and dispersed, reducing interference with the external environment. The entire screening process realizes the rapid and effective separation of impurities in the fruit, and improves the efficiency and quality of agricultural product processing.
[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a second frame 26, the first discharge port 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the second frame 26, two baffles 30 are symmetrically mounted on one side of the second frame 26, a plurality of support plates 27 are fixedly mounted on one side of the inner side of the second frame 26, and rollers 28 are movably mounted on the outer sides of the two support plates 27 that are farthest apart, one end of which is fixedly mounted with a driven gear 34, an output motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second frame 26 close to the first discharge port 2, a driving gear 33 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the output motor 32, the driving gear 33 and the driven gear 34 are connected by a tooth chain 31, and a conveyor belt 29 is rotatably mounted on the roller 28;
[0033] When the staff starts the output motor 32, the driving gear 33 fixed at the output end of the output motor 32 begins to rotate immediately. Through the close engagement of the tooth chain 31, the rotational power of the driving gear 33 is effectively transmitted to the driven gear 34, thereby driving a roller 28 connected thereto to rotate synchronously. Since the roller 28 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the support plate 27 farthest apart inside the second frame 26, and the rollers 28 are connected in a rolling manner through the conveyor belt 29, when one of the rollers 28 rotates under the linkage action of the driving gear 33 and the driven gear 34, it drives the entire transmission. The conveyor belt 29 system circulates along a preset path. The continuous movement of the conveyor belt 29 provides the necessary power support for the transportation of fruits, so that the fruits put in from the feed end can move forward smoothly along the surface of the conveyor belt 29 until they reach the first discharge port 2 to complete the transportation process. In this process, the two baffles 30 symmetrically installed on both sides of the second frame 26 play a key role. They effectively limit the lateral movement of the fruits during the transportation process and prevent the fruits from accidentally falling from both sides of the conveyor belt 29 due to vibration or tilt, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of fruit transportation.
